This undated publicity image released by ABC shows actress Eden Sher as Sue Heck in a scene from the comedy series "The Middle," airing Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. Sher wore a set of removable braces to her audition to play the daughter on the ABC comedy, helping her win the job. They're the signature of the geeky, loveable loser that is high school soph Sue Heck. (AP Photo/ABC, Michael Ansell)
